Description

A vibrant cartoon with colours and smooth animation. THE SCENE WIDE SINGLE PANEL - Verandah of a government school. Peeling yellow paint, a dusty ceiling fan that hasn't moved since 2002, cobwebs in the corner. Three officials sit behind a rickety table stacked with a giant dusty register and mountains of notices. Two women (Booth Level Officers) and one man. All three wear the same blank bureaucratic expression. Standing opposite them: DIVYA, 30, clutching a thick folder, her Voter ID card held out like a shield. THE THREE DIALOGUES OFFICER 1 (woman, scanning register): "We couldn't map your father in the 2002 voters list. There is no Marappa." DIVYA (clutching her documents): "Because in 1998 he converted to Christianity - Marappa became John, same person - but all my documents still say Marappa." OFFICER 2 (woman, deadpan, stamping a paper): "Your documents say Marappa, our list has no Marappa, and nothing proves John is Marappa - so as per records, we are deleting you from the list." BACKGROUND DETAILS (FOR THE CARTOONIST) Wall poster behind officers: "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" - slightly crooked, faded, cobweb on the corner. The register: Comically massive, dusty, with a spiderweb between pages. A lizard sitting on top. Notices on wall: Stacked so thick they overlap like wallpaper. The ceiling fan: Not moving. Like justice. A stray dog: Sleeping peacefully under the table - the only creature in the scene who understands nothing and is perfectly happy. A small sign on the table: "May I help you?" - with the "help" scratched out.
